| DENNIS JONES : : PLEASURE & PAIN |
 |
“Pleasure & Pain, is one rollickingly good time…” Greg Prato, Allmusic
“Dennis Jones has a forceful yet emotionally resonant vocal delivery, and his guitar playing is elegant virtuosity, in that masterful mode of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.” George Fish, Bloomington Alternative
“From the opening horn blasts of the first cut “Brand New Day,” Jones revels in a passionate and fresh approach to the blues that carries through this entire CD. He brandishes his guitar with flair and his vocals are creative and self-assured.” Michael Kinsman, BLUSD
Dennis Jones’ third release, Pleasure & Pain contains 11 blazingly intense original numbers. “Brand New Day” does not just swing the shuffle; it kicks it all over the lot as Jones exhorts “Dance the blues away!” “Don’t Worry About Me” adds an element of contemporary vocal harmony, reminiscent of the Sopranos theme song, to the booty-bumping minor funk. He engages in some winking braggadocio by singing “no beg, no way” in “I’m Good” over the hardest pounding shuffle rhythm highlighted by his string punishing picking. Jones changes tack in “Kill the Pain” with a slow, raunchy boogie exposing the futility of cocaine abuse and featuring low down country blues licks elevated to inflammatory levels. “Blue Over You” finds him playing infectious, funky lead/rhythm guitar, with a nod to the Voodoo Child, in a hook-laden number that has hit radio potential. “Sunday Morning Rain” takes yet a different turn as a pop rock ballad that would not be out of place in Nashville as Jones croons his melancholy tale of romantic woe. The driving minor key rocker “Home Tonight” displays an urgency that permeates the entire album.
“Try Not to Lie” rocks the blues like a certain trio from Texas as Jones addresses a common theme with the ironic “If you try not to lie, I will try to do the same.” “I Want It Yesterday” is a nasty slice of ominous, heavy riff rock while “Him or Me” channels Jimi in an impressive display of trio rock that rumbles and roars with fury. Closing the astounding set is the charging and lusty musical locomotive called “Hot Sauce” that fittingly has Jones quoting “Third Rock from the Sun” within the dynamic “call and response” framework.
It is risky to make predictions, but if anyone has a legitimate shot at filling the blues guitar hero void it is Dennis Jones. He has the head, heart and hands to do it.

SITA STILL SINGS THE BLUES
|
Berlinale alum “Sita Sings the Blues” from animator Nina Paley is finally getting a DVD release. Paley’s allies at Question Copyright, explain the issue, “After pouring three years of her life into making the film, and having great success with audiences at festival screenings, she now can’t distribute it, because of music licensing issues: the film uses songs recorded in the late 1920’s by singer Annette Hanshaw, and although the recordings are out of copyright, the compositions themselves are still restricted. That means if you want to make a film using these songs from the 1920s, you have to pay money — a lot of money (around $50,000.00).”
The article continues, “The music in ‘Sita Sings The Blues’ is integral to the film: entire animation sequences were done around particular songs. As Nina says in the interview [embedded on the Question Copyright page], incorporating those particular recordings was part of her inspiration. To tell her — as many people did — to simply use different music would have been like telling her not to do the film at all. And that’s part of her point: artists ‘internalize the permission culture,’ which in turn affects the kinds of art they make.”
After seeing the film at festivals, many critics began to rave about it and became incredibly disappointed when it looked like the majority of the filmgoing public would not see the film. Roger Ebert says this of his first time seeing the film, “I put on the DVD and start watching. I am enchanted. I am swept away. I am smiling from one end of the film to the other. It is astonishingly original. It brings together four entirely separate elements and combines them into a great whimsical chord. You might think my attention would flag while watching An animated version of the epic Indian tale of Ramayana set to the 1920’s jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw. Quite the opposite. It quickens.” On the Spout blog, Karina Longworth raves about the film, describing it as one of the Best Undistributed Films of 2008. She says, “The 82 minute feature cross cuts between the story of the director’s own divorce, and a loose retelling of the ancient Indian myth Ramayana; we’re led back and forth between the two milieu by three silhouetted figures who colloquially comment on the events in Indian-inflected English. There are also musical numbers, set mainly to songs by 1920s jazz siren Annette Hanshaw, which drop psychedelic Bollywood versions of the Ramayana characters into Busby Berkeley configurations. It’s an infectiously personal work, and all the more admirable as a sterling example of animation meant resolutely for adults.”
Through an intense study of copyright laws, Paley has realized the opportunity to allow other people to sell her work with her endorsement, and she can receive donations from these distributors. Tonight in New York, Paley will join distributor Film Karavan at Interieurs for a release party, which will feature much of her artwork. The film can be viewed for free online.

EVOLUTION SERIES TELLS STORY OF MUSIC GENRES, LATIN TO FOLK
|
By Kathy Lauer-Williams | OF THE MORNING CALL
Lehigh Valley
Popular music is a continuously evolving enterprise with quite a story to tell. Musikfest is doing just that in a new interactive educational program called the Evolution Music Series.The series of five one-hour programs, which starts today at Moravian College's Peter Hall, explores the genres of rock, blues, jazz and more.
Learn how the distinctive sound of Latin music migrated to the Americas from Spain and how changes in the physical construction of the piano influenced the compositions of Bach and Beethoven. The series builds on the success of last year's ''Art of Musik'' series, which featured workshops by several festival performers.
The series gets off to a fiery start today with a program on the history of Latin music by Latin Fiesta, an ens emble that incorporates costumes, dancing, percussion in their music, which ranges from hot salsa and rhumba to Latin classical.
Maria del Pico Taylor, artistic director of the troupe, says the program will explore the historic perspective of Latin music as well as the characteristics that give the music its distinctive sound. She will be joined by four drummers, violinist Raymond Taylor and flamenco dancer Liliana Ruiz Davis for the program.
She says the audience will learn how to shake maracas in the trademark rhythm chicka chicka chick chick chick and learn the steps for the traditional flamenco dance. Also on the program is a discussion about how castanets are used differently in the left and right hands. ''They are called male and female, because the female held in the right hand, does all the talking,'' she says.
Easton-area jazz pianist and composer David Leonhardt w ill talk about the history of jazz on Sunday.
Leonhardt who has taught jazz for more than 25 years, has presented workshops to students from elementary school to college. His workshops include performance/demonstrations that teach about the concepts, instruments, and styles of jazz and involve audience participation.
Concert pianist Barry Hannigan, w ho has performed at Carnegie Hall and throughout the world, says he didn't have a workshop program, but planning for the Evolution series gave him the chance to look at the piano in a new way. A teacher as well as a performer, Hannigan says his program on Thursday will feature a lecture and demonstration that looks at the history of the piano and how changes in the instrument changed what music was possible.
He says the piano began to come into its own just as Bach was ''handing the musical baton off to his kids.'' Also, he notes, some of Beethoven's most well-known compositions were influenced by the composer's new piano. Hannigan will cover later composers for the piano, including Chopin, Liszt and Brahms, through 20th-century composer George Crum.
Blues guitarist Brad Litwin w ill talk about the evolution of the blues next Saturday. Litwin always has been interested in the preservation of early roots blues and jazz. He became fascinated with the seminal blues performers of the 1920s and 1930s early in his career and studied their recordings. which he now recreates. He will explore how roots music formed the basis of American popular music, including blues, and how African American rhythms from the 1880s, including call and response, folk songs, and later, ragtime and vaudeville, influenced the genre.
Dave Fry, folk musician and founder of the Godfrey Daniels listening club in south Bethlehem, will present his award-winning RockRoots program Aug. 9. The program, which traces the history of rock music, was developed in 1990. The following year, RockRoots was aired on PBS nationally and was named best children's programming for 1991. The program is presented in schools each year through Young Audiences of Eastern PA and Young Audiences of New Jersey.
Fry will play acoustic and electric guitar and mandolin. Joining him will be Kevin Soffera on drums, Nick Franclik on bass and Donnie Mayer on electric guitar. The four-piece band will give a fun look at the history of rock, from African rhythms, delta blues, swing, rhythm and blues and country through Elvis Presley, Motown, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, disco and world beat.

WE'LL NEVER LOSE THE BLUES
|
By BARRY MAZOR/WSJ
Memphis, Tenn.
Despite ample evidence of talent, vitality and originality in blues music today, rumors have persisted that the genre is on life support. Taj Mahal is not surprised.
“There was a point where everybody was saying that the blues was dead, so everybody believed it,” the veteran musical innovator and blues-and-roots authority told me in Memphis. (It was just before the 30th annual Blues Music Awards in May; he’d been inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame the night before, along with New Orleans soul queen Irma Thomas.) But, he added, “that only meant it wasn’t going to do as much for the larger music industry. So let’s define what we’re talking about. You can’t tell me that hearts aren’t still going to be stepped on, that folks are not going to get their nose out of joint ’cause things don’t go right. That never changes.”
Jay Sieleman, executive director of the Memphis-based Blues Foundation, dedicated to both educating the public and aiding the genre’s performers, agrees that the blues has lasting power. He says the genre is sturdy enough to evolve unpredictably through another century in part because of its steady international fan base. “Blues fans are very loyal,” he noted when we spoke, “and the music is very personal; there’s not much separation between the musicians and the fans.” Legends such as Bobby “Blue” Bland, B.B. King, Pinetop Perkins, Honeyboy Edwards and Koko Taylor, in what proved to be her last performance, mingled easily with fans throughout the award and Hall of Fame induction ceremonies.
The real news out of Memphis, however, is the abundance of risk-taking 21st-century blues on display both at the awards show and in Beale Street venues during the days that followed—often from performers with impressive and honored discs to match the live excitement.
Otis Taylor
Otis Taylor
“Pentatonic Wars and Love Songs”
(Telarc)
Mr. Taylor has been an avid advocate for the revival of African-American banjo styles, and he was awarded this year for his banjo playing. When he took his current, lively band to the stage at the ceremony, however, he had an electric guitar in hand and let loose with a wall of music from this astounding, layered new CD—a blues-based meditation on love, childhood and race comparable in scope and ambition to Marvin Gaye’s opus “What’s Going On.”
The Soul of John Black
“Black John”
(Eclecto Groove)
This is an utterly contemporary and infectious blend of blues, funk and catchy pop from an involving, surprise-a-minute band fronted by exciting guitar-slinging vocalist John Bigham (a.k.a. “John Black”), a veteran of Miles Davis’s band, and rubber-faced, loose-limbed bass player Shawn Davis. The numbers are informed by what Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy and Magic Sam contributed to music—and funk and hip-hop and even country influences show up, too. Their song “Betty Jean” won’t leave your head, and it’s far from the disc’s only earworm track.
Janiva Magness
”What Love Will Do”
(Alligator)
Having won this year’s prime “B.B. King Entertainer of the Year” award (she also picked up “Contemporary Blues Female Artist”), Ms. Magness—a blues-circuit veteran and quite young grandmother from a hardscrabble background—stepped up to a new level of recognition and did so on the strength of this recording. The songs are mainly hard-hitting, sassy reconstructions, backed by a small-horn band, of songs from the soul and blues bags of Bill Withers, Al Green, Tina Turner and the like.
Cedric Burnside & Lightnin’ Malcolm
“2 Man Wrecking Crew”
(Delta Groove)
Winner of the 2009 “Best New Artist Debut” blues award, this duo joins the aggressive, modern attack of the singing, drumming grandson of the late Mississippi hill country blues legend R.L. Burnside with the alternately chugging and nuanced guitar and vocals of Missouri’s Lightnin’ (Steve) Malcolm, a red-haired young guitarist and vocalist who’d jammed with and been tutored by the elder Burnside, Junior Kimbrough and others of the same school. The result, including these 30-somethings’ touching but funky tribute song “R.L. Burnside,” is a pounding, updated take on hills-style danceability.
The Mannish Boys
”Lowdown Feelin’”
(Delta Groove)
This big Los Angeles-based band is often called a Chicago blues supergroup, and while it didn’t win awards this year, it was nominated for more of them than any other act. “Supergroup” doesn’t really describe how their often electrifying shows or CDs like this latest one actually work, however. Highly skilled, admirably loose blues veterans officially in the group and a succession of guests step up to take vocal or instrumental leads.The result is an infectious revival of both ’40s jump and ’50s to ’60s Chess-like styles from a band that lives inside the music.
Eden Brent
“Mississippi Number One”
(Yellow Dog)
For her contemporary, soul-influenced, downright-sexy turns on after-hours piano blues, Ms. Brent took home the award for Best Acoustic Artist and, for this CD, Best Acoustic Album. She emerged as a force to reckon with as an apprentice of Boogaloo Ames, and is often called “Little Boogaloo” herself. She sings Gershwin and Peggy Lee tunes, as well as her own Delta-born songs—aggressive, sultry, hot and cool.

MARIA MULDAUR RETURNS TO HER JUG BAND ROOTS FOR NEW CD ON STONY PLAIN RECORDS, DUE FOR RELEASE ON OCTOBER 6
Maria Muldaur, “America’s First Lady of Roots Music,” is coming full circle and returning to her beginnings with a new jug band album, Maria Muldaur & Her Garden of Joy, which is set for release on October 6 by Stony Plain Records, distributed in the U.S. by ADA. The new CD will be followed by a six-week tour throughout the U.S. and Canada.
The new album is a reunion between the Grammy-nominated singer and some of the alumni of the legendary Even Dozen Jug Band, the first group Muldaur recorded with, including John Sebastian and David Grisman. Sebastian soon became famous as leader of the Lovin’ Spoonful and the writer of numerous hits including “Do You Believe in Magic?,” “Summer in the City,” “Daydream,” “Nashville Cats”, and the theme for the hit TV series, “Welcome Back Kotter.” David Grisman, known as a pioneer of “new bluegrass” (as well as his own fusion of jazz, bluegrass and gypsy music called “Dawg Music”), went on to record more than 50 albums since his Even Dozen Jug Band days, with artists as varied as Jerry Garcia and Stéphane Grappelli.
To complete this reunion of former jug band mates, Muldaur will include on the new CD the title track of her 2005 Grammy-nominated album, Sweet Lovin’ Ol’ Soul, which features the last recording of the late Fritz Richmond, the incomparable jug player in the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. The track also includes another long-time friend, Taj Mahal.
Maria Muldaur & Her Garden of Joy also features the illustrious ultimate hipster, Dan Hicks, who continues to record and tour internationally with his band The Hot Licks. Joining these jug band veterans are Muldaur’s newest discovery, a young jug band called the Crow Quill Night Owls.
